"Won't turn over, need help where to start?"

Presuming the battery is good, check the ground cable first for a good, clean connection on both ends of the cable/strap.

Check the other battery cable to the staring motor on both ends for a good, clean connection.

Using a test light, check for power at the starter switch.

If there is power to the starter switch, then remove the starter switch.

Take a look at the diagram below.

Note the terminal stud (Key 38).

CAUTION: MAKE SURE THE TRACTOR IS OUT OF GEAR.

MAKE SURE THE IGNITION SWITCH IS TURNED OFF.

With the tractor out of gear and the ignition switch turned OFF, touch the batter cable to the terminal stud on the starting motor.

If the starting motor turns over, then the starter switch may not be making contact with the terminal stud.

Either the contact terminal on the starter switch may be worn out or the terminal stud on the starting motor may be worn out.

If the starting motor does not turn over, then remove the starting motor and have it tested and/or repaired.

We have replaced several terminal studs on starting motors on our tractors.

As mention below, it could also have a faulty starter drive.

We have also replaced starter drives on a couple of our tractors.

Hope this helps.
